About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

There are no shortages of free and paid Slender games, but fans of the original that jump-started the craze should be happy to know Hadley is working with Blue Isle Studios on this new release. Joseph DeLage, Troy Wagner and Tim Sutton, the creators of Marble Hornets, are behind the story of The Arrival.

The team promises more gameplay than simply picking up eight pages, too. The teaser shows gameplay seems to take place from a camcorder perspective, and players will have to face creatures in addition to Slender in a variety of settings.

Slender: The Arrival will not be free when it releases. Hopefully the team will contribute a portion of the sales to the original creator of the Slender Man myth or at least come to some formal agreement. I asked both Hadley and Blue Isle to comment on this and will update with their response.
